about "Ukraine. The Birth of a Nation”: In his film, the director Jerzy
Hoffman, a Pole, speaks with a voice of a Ukrainian, earnestly and
honestly addressing historical issues that are a source of pride but
also of shame. It is a captivating narrative of a thousand years of
Ukrainian history, of its most dramatic and defining moments that leaves
the viewer both informed and thirsty for more. Mr. Hoffman’s love for
Ukraine, obvious to anyone who can see and hear, does not compromise his
level-headed depiction of even the most controversial aspects of
Ukraine’s history. This film is both a great introduction for novices
and a summary for those who already know a lot. It’s a must have for
everybody who takes interest in Ukraine.
